　　1910年，“飞行器”是那个时代风行一时的事物。然而正因为它刚刚诞生，一切还处于起步阶段。英国每日邮报主编劳德·罗恩斯（罗伯特·莫利 Robert Morley饰）策划组织了一场从伦敦飞往巴黎的竞赛。而这次竞赛的目的，就是为了彰显英国种族的优越。如果一切都按照预期发展，不出所料的，他的女婿理查德·梅斯（詹姆斯·福克斯 James Fox饰）将赢得比赛。竞赛的新闻一经发出，就得到了来自世界各地飞行器爱好者的踊跃报名。然而这场本该是冒险者的比赛，却成为了一场争夺帕特里夏·罗恩斯利（莎拉·米尔斯 Sarah Miles饰）感情的竞赛。
　　本片荣获1966年第38届奥斯卡金像奖最佳原创剧本提名，1966年第23届金球奖电影类-音乐喜剧类最佳影片提名及音乐喜剧类最佳男主角提名。影片描写了不同国家的飞行员的个性：死板的德国人、阴险的法国人、傲慢的意大利人还有倒霉的日本人，而英国人和美国人则被刻画成互相帮助的好人。片中很多经典的桥段，被以后很多的喜剧片所争相效仿，向本片致敬。

　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

　　描绘主人公岛村（高桥一生）三次前往雪国的温泉旅馆，与当地一名艺妓驹子（奈绪），和一位萍水相逢的少女叶子（森田望智）三人间复杂微妙的情感。

　　影片是简·奥斯汀的经典小说《理智与情感》的拉丁版本。故事背景为现代的洛杉矶。
　　姐姐诺拉·多米格兹（卡米拉·贝尔 Camilla Belle 饰）是一家法学院的学生，妹妹玛丽（阿丽夏·维加 Alexa Vega 饰）肄业在家，惟一在乎的就是购物和参加派对找乐子，她们和父亲一起在比佛利山过着极度奢华享受的生活。玛丽拒绝承认与生俱来的墨西哥血统当父亲突然过世之后，豪华的生活方式也就随之消失了。姐妹俩不仅变成了穷人，还被迫搬离现在的居所，搬到关系疏远的姑姑奥莉娅（阿德里安娜·芭拉扎 Adriana Barraza 饰）家中——位于洛杉矶东部博伊尔高地的一个以拉丁美洲人为主的社区。姐妹二人都感到非常地惊恐，她们既不会说西班牙语，也缺少应该具备的责任感，但是她们别无选择，只能慢慢地改变自己去适合一个全新的生活环境，把高档的跑车变卖掉，和普通人一样去搭乘公共汽车……
　　最终诺拉和玛丽是否可完全融入到了这个一直以来都被她们拒绝接受的文化根源？
